"Empire" star denies outing Jussie Smolett as gay
damage control

In a statement sent to USA TODAY via his publicist, Malik Yoba denied that he outed Smollett and said that his comments were about Jamal, not Jussie.
"I was misquoted in the article. My reference to Jussie was only about his character and storyline on Empire."

"like I know Jussie, he is gay, and he's very committed to issues around the LGBT community. He and I have a very close relationship."
Sure, Malik.
Jussie is clearly gay.

If you are gay and are playing a gay male on television... why would you try to deny you were gay? I'm confused.

Jussie is so ironic. He's a gay music artist who's scared to come out but eventually does. In real life, he's undercover. Bye, Jussie.

Jussie is clearly gay.
He is a mess for trying to backtrack on that.
The man is Gay. Why try to hide it when he is winning?

But Jussie has been out for so many years I don't know why people are acting so stunned.
